What I want is to hide existing mounted volumes whose names I don't want to change.

Setting the HFS "invisible" bit is the way to go, then. I've done this before. You can do this from the command line: SetFile -a V /Volumes/HideMe Doing it programmatically requires using the HFS metadata APIs in <CarbonCore/Files.h>.

I am not sure how well this will work with volumes that are not HFS- formatted, e.g. FAT-formatted flash-memory sticks. But it should work with regular disk images, which are HFS+.
